Note
Description
This blocked event contains 3 stages.
In Stage 1, students meet online for one day and experience recent economic psychology research as participants. The research topics will mainly consist of novel economic games with certain level of strategic depth (i.e., we will not play simple games like rock paper scissors, nor we will play games that many people are familiar with like the prisoner’s dilemma).
In Stage 2, students will receive the data from the games they played in Stage 1 along with a few journal articles assigned by the instructor on related topics. Based on reading, they choose one of the datasets from Stage 1 to write up a short report.
In Stage 3, students will try to design and conduct a study on a related topic themselves based on what they have learned in the previous stages. They will collect their own data and write a research report. The nature of this project is to be determined together by the students and instructor. It would either be ideas generated by the students themselves, or something assigned by the instructor.
English will be the language used in all discussions, course materials, and assessments.
Competence Certificate
The assessment is based on the short report in Stage 2 and the research report in Stage 3.
Workload
Students are expected to spend a total of 90 hours (30 hours per ECTS), including meeting and assignments, on this seminar.
